Answer:
It will help it partially. There are two issues with having the pictures in the megillah. The first is that preferably it should be like a sefer torah, where it is not permitted for anything to be added, secondly, the pictures disturb the person’s concentration. Covering the pictures will help for the second reason but not for the first.
